Any ideas as to what's causing this? Is it a problem with the way the epub is structured, or is Cool Reader known to have issues of this sort?

I suspect Cool Reader doesn't conform to the specification and does not have the support for Gif. It is a reader originally developed for FB2 format and there was a time when gif format was patented but this patent has expired a long time ago but some groups still won't support it favoring png. But the ePub spec clearly calls for gif and I believe png isn't even on the list. Gif is really the best format for certain line drawings etc. You might want to contact the Cool Reader group on sourceforge and request it.
